[C320-list] spinnaker question

[Jeff Church]

Bruce,

I was told by a reliable source that I should install a crane, so I installed it prior to buying my asym spinnaker. I can't comment on how well the asym flies without the crane.

Here's a link to pictures of the crane and associated parts on the C320 site. I purchased the crane from RigRite. I'm not totally satisfied with their product (see the second link). If you find another source please let me know.

  Those of you who fly an asymmetrical, do you have any issues with the
  spinnaker halyard dragging on the jib halyard at the top of the mast or have
  you done something to avoid potential problems (crane, external halyard, or
  etc.)?
